摘要

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a high resolution approach for organic molecule detections. Under a controllable magnetic field, gamma-Fe2O3@SiO2 ellipsoids could be forced by the solvent evaporation and assembly to shape the gamma-Fe2O3@SiO(2)ellipsoid ordered arrays. Sputtering the thin gold film onto the ordered arrays, we could fabricate the gold/ellipsoid ordered complex films. The outstanding SERS could be observed using 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) as the probe molecule, where the detected limit concentration is lower than 10(-7) mol/L.
